You fail at pretending to be one. AFI formed in 1991. Emo was created in the mid-eighties. Well actually that's more emocore, emo was late eighties. But point is, there were PLENTY of emo bands before AFI came along.

The best emo bands I know of are Dag Nasty, Sunny Day Real Estate, Christie Front Drive, Mineral, and Indian Summer.
